Omaha Shooting Must Not Have Happened
Because the Mall the tragedy happened in was a “gun free” zone.
The horrible tragedy at the Westroads Mall in Omaha, Neb. received a lot of attention Wednesday and Thursday. It should have. Eight people were killed, and five were wounded.
A Google news search using the phrase “Omaha Mall Shooting” finds an incredible 2,794 news stories worldwide for the last day. From India and Taiwan to Britain and Austria, there are probably few people in the world who haven’t heard about this tragedy.
But despite the massive news coverage, none of the media coverage, at least by 10 a.m. Thursday, mentioned this central fact: Yet another attack occurred in a gun-free zone....
Despite the lack of news coverage, people are beginning to notice what research has shown for years: Multiple-victim public shootings keep occurring in places where guns already are banned. Forty states have broad right-to-carry laws, but even within these states it is the “gun-free zones,” not other public places, where the attacks happen.
First of all my heart goes out to the victims and their families of this senseless tragedy. I hope that the families can eventually somehow find some peace.
On the other hand I also hope that someone sues the mall for their willful act of making the mall a safe zone for criminals. Anyone with the brains that God gave a goose would figure that only an honest person would pay attention to their little minded policy.
